2007-10-21 / 10:43PM | | Xiexie, benny for your help because I’ve seen two different words for eggs before. How do you say: How was your summer. I don’t if have to conjugate any verbs for the past tense. Zaijian, Benny!:) | |

There is no past tense for verbs in Mandarin. Actually when we ask this question in Mandarin without any past tense, we know it’s asking about the summer in the past, because we don’t ask people how’s your next summer, right?
But sometimes we do use time words to indicate past tense. For example, ‘Nǐ qù nián xià tiān guò de zěn me yàng?’. Here we add ‘qù nián’, meaning ‘last year’. You can see there is no any change for the verb ‘guò de’. | |
